Simple, iconic, and served in a frosty copper mug — the Moscow Mule is a cocktail that never goes out of style. With its mix of vodka, ginger beer, and lime, it’s a go-to drink for warm weather, happy hours, and cocktail lovers everywhere.
Despite its name, the Moscow Mule is entirely American. It was invented in the 1940s in Los Angeles at the Cock ‘n’ Bull Pub. The story goes that the bar had an overstock of ginger beer and a struggling vodka brand — and in a moment of creative genius, they combined the two with a splash of lime juice. Served in a copper mug for extra flair and chill, the Moscow Mule became a runaway hit.
And no, it has nothing to do with Moscow or mules — the name was just catchy, mysterious, and a little cheeky.
The Moscow Mule is beloved for its refreshing, spicy, and citrusy kick. It’s one of the few cocktails where the mixer (ginger beer) takes center stage alongside the spirit. Celebs like Jennifer Aniston, Justin Timberlake, and Blake Lively have all been known to sip this classic. It’s even had a resurgence in recent years thanks to craft cocktail bars and the Instagram-worthy copper mug.
The Moscow Mule relies on smooth, clean vodka to let the ginger and lime shine. That’s where Illadelph Organic Vodka comes in. Its ultra-pure finish and organic quality provide the perfect backdrop for the Mule’s bold flavors. No harshness, no interference — just a crisp, chill experience.
So next time you’re mixing up a Moscow Mule, reach for Illadelph Vodka — and taste the upgrade in every sip.
